About the wine
- The unsung hero of Rioja wines - a grape usually blended into the background that Gorka brings to the forefront.
- This kind of wine rarely leaves the region where the winemakers have it with their tapas every night.
- Savvy customers using our unique MarketPlace bought most of this in advance and made a huge saving - be sure to review it if you'd like to see it as a permanent listing!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Gorka Etxebarria
- He's a gentle, modest young guy with very little to be modest about. After all how many winemakers his age have managed to win 90 points from the world's most influential wine critic, Robert Parker
- Burgo Viejo is owned by 6 families of farmers, not winemakers or salesmen. They used to simply sell their grapes and never see the true products of their labours. Then Gorka came to save the day and showed them exactly how good their grapes were!
- His second love is head banging guitar...and having tasted his wines, and heard his music, we should all be grateful that wine is his first love! Save everyone's ear drums, support this winemaker in his fantastic contribution to Spanish wines.
